Which version of xterm is that? If ~/.XCompose exists, xterm does not
read any other Compose files here:
,----
| $ strace xterm -e true 2>&1 | grep Compose
| open("/home/sven/.XCompose", O_RDONLY) = 5
| stat64("/home/sven/.XCompose", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
| stat64("/home/sven/.XCompose", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
| open("/home/sven/.XCompose", O_RDONLY) = 5
`----
So I don't have any explanation for the behavior you observe.
Cheers,
Sven
